Precision farming is the managing variation in the field accurately to get more
with the use of fevwer resources and reducing the cost of crops production
production.
From the very beginning of the time, people doing farming with thetraditional methods like they
are rubbing the soil to check soil with finger, they are using machinery and
tractor which is the
good thing and it is very essential for the agriculture practices but now a days
farming revolution triggered by the adaption of staggering of new technologies therelike
are new
they are
using satellite, Remote Sensing, smart sensors, GPS and a range of IT application
which is
combined with high technology enginecring.
imply, we can say that precision farming is the method of farming which uses the information
technology to ensure that the soil and crops get exactly what the crop and soil need for the proper
growth and higher productivity.
Precision farming is also knownas the satellite farming.
Precision farming can make achange incrop and foodproduction facing thechallenge of arising
world population and can help the farmer to achieve.
Precision Farming
Precision farming is very helpful for the farmers and whoever involved in agriculture. They can
easily decide that when to crop harvest when to do irrigation etc. because with the help of
Precision farming they can get all the correct data and information related to their cultivation.
So we can also say that Precision farming can improve the time management, water
management, nutrient management and produce healthy crops and with this all, they can get
higher yield.
The process of Precision farming has been able by the help of GPS and GISS. There are farmer's
and researcher's ability to locate these tools with the correct position in the agricultural field
from which they can get map of spatial variability of many variables as can be measured such as
nutrient content, moisture level, water content, soil fertility, crop production, nitrogen level etc.
There are also data which is collected by sensor arrays mounted on GPS equipped combine
harvester. These arrays has the real-time sensor which can casily measure everything such as
water status, chlorophyll level on the plant etc. along with the multispectral imagery. When these
data collected, then the data is used in conjunction with satellite imagery by variable rate
technology. The variable rate technology include sprayers, seeders etc.

In the Precision farming, there are also unmanned aerial cycle which has enabled in vehicles
like DJI Phantom but these are inexpensive and it can be only operated by novice piolet. This
type of agriculture tools and drone equipped with hyperspectral or RBG cameras so that it can
capture the images of agriculture field and can collect data related to agriculture.
Precision farming has usualtly four stages process to observe a special variability

Satellite imagery and ariel or GPS in-vehicle are the some ways to get

There are generally two ways of Geolocation:
1. In-vehicle GPS (it required someone to drive)
2. Areal or satellite imaginary (it does not required anyone to drive) Pench Se
2. Variables

Variables are intra field (inside the field) variability may result from different different basis like
climate condition, rainfall, soil texture, nitrogen level, crop production, disease in the field and
weeds.

If a plant or crop is suffering from disease, water stress or from other things which is
balanced. There are different factors of varieties.

3. Strategies
After getting data and information of a field, farmers can use soil map and they can choose these
two strategies to maintain the input of field.
1. Productive Strategy :- This strategy is based on the analysis of static indication such as field
history,soil texture etc during the crop cycle.
2. Control Strategy :- This type of strategy get information from the static indicatorduring the
crop cycle by sampling the weighing, biomass weighing fruits and by Remote Sensing which is
generally measured the parameter, temperature of air and soil, humidity etc. areal or satellite
remote sensing which is generally measure the disease of plant and biophysical parameter of
plants and by in-vehicle sensor which generally measure the leaf status, stem status and it
required someone todrive.
4. Implementation

NICT (New information and Communication Technology) make the field crop management
which is more easier for the farmers to achieve good production. In the precission farming, they
use technologies for the agriculture like tractors, harvesters, thresher and other machines.
 Goals of Precision

There are mainly three
